" Kal Penn poked fun at Clint Eastwood during his speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday (September 4). Eastwood&amp;#039;s own speech at last week&amp;#039;s Republican National Convention drew mixed reviews for a section where he debated an empty chair standing in for Obama.   During one section of the speech, Eastwood asked the empty chair: &amp;quot;What? What do you want me to tell Romney? I can&amp;#039;t tell him to do that to himself. You&amp;#039;re absolutely crazy!&amp;quot; Obama later responded by insisting he was not offended by Eastwood&amp;#039;s attack and remained a fan of the Gran Torino director. Harold &amp;amp;amp; Kumar star Penn \u00E2\u20AC\u201C who briefly worked in Obama&amp;#039;s Office of Public Engagement \u00E2\u20AC\u201C took aim at Eastwood while defending the president&amp;#039;s record at the DNC. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve worked on a lot of fun movies but my favorite job was having a boss who gave the order to take out Bin Laden and is cool with all of us getting gay married,&amp;quot; Penn said of Obama. He then joked: &amp;quot;So thank you invisible man in the chair for that!&amp;quot; The Daily Show&amp;#039;s Jon Stewart also mocked Eastwood last week, claiming that the filmmaker&amp;#039;s speech was the &amp;quot;most joy [he&amp;#039;s] gotten from an old man since Dick Cheney non-fatally shot one in the face&amp;quot;. Earlier this week, the Obama campaign released a new video which sees the president meeting Harold and Kumar (John Cho, Kumar).
